Came, saw and siegte- melodic Madonna is back!

Two days ago, the Limited Super Deluxe Edition of Madonna's new album arrived "Rebel Heart" with me and I'm thrilled! The first six songs I knew, of course, yes, but also the rest of the album has convinced me.

It's a very melodic album, which Madonna has presented here. A friend of mine, the hardcore fan is, has already listened to the leaked demos and is disappointed with the album versions. I told him that this is the punishment for listening geklauter songs. I have now heard the song for the first time and find them great. I mean, Madonna can not make a whole album on which each song accompanied only by acoustic guitar as allegedly many of the demos. This is still pop music, not Neil Young. The songs are produced, but not overproduced, I find that beautiful melodies do not go under in the sometimes complicated arrangements.

I have looked for the first time yesterday in an entirely unpretentious belongs the new for me part of the album through headphones on the way through the city and the song gave me immediately a good mood. I have expected that I would find it good, but so that they go straight to the ear, I did not expect. In particular, "Joan of Arc", "Wash All Over Me" and the beautiful, almost seeming Christmas "Messiah" have great tunes!

"Iconic" I also like very much and discover in it a hint of one of my favorite songs of Madonna "Celebration". "Body Shop" is kind of funny, a little more original song, the show went that Madonna irony and humor is not lost. What is true for other songs, I think people who are so terrible about everything she makes, upset, see the twinkle in his eye not in many of the texts. "Holy Water" I also find funny in his own way, but not like me very well imagine what it means.

"Rebel Heart" might actually contains (do not be upset, you can also have different things like) a little Neil Young, then here comes the guitar but sometimes used and Madonna sings her rebellious heart and generally exceptional life paths. Again: Great melody hymn!

The bonus songs of the second disc are the first part of the album in every way, especially "Beautiful Scars" and "Graffiti Heart" I like them. Stupid is actually that the AutoRip not apply to the second disc, which may be easier for Amazon so, for the inclined users it is inconvenient.

You can see the cover of the double-CD open like a box, but a booklet, lyrics, or any information on the album in vain. That's a pity, but fits well into the concept. There are cool pictures, Madonna makes as Joan of Arc in black and white and as stabbed Queen in armor quite a good figure.

The images are certainly further evidence of Madonna's notorious megalomania, there they would get upset, on the other hand has just this megalomania they heaved on the Iron Throne of pop music, they still defended with sharp blade.

She sings about her usual themes of religion, sex and themselves. One can find annoying, but in a different way, it is also very honest. I mean, if she sings about stardom, she sings just about their own experiences. And that religion is an issue, what they and attracts great interest by all their work, why not ?! Better an artist has an issue than that he or she has none.

I think what people are most upset about her, is not their alleged artistic failure, but that it just does what it wants. She does not care drum and they do not need too. Presumably she is 70 even make dance albums and the arguments for and against will remain the same, but then it's just like that. A bit gendern I have at the point but then: The Rolling Stones cares not that they are ancient and still occur. When was the last big hit for her? Madonna can take credit for that, after all, they seriously tried again to land a. She still has the ambition. With "Living For Love" they would have deserved this hit, but within the whole leak story the song is unfortunately somewhat sags.

The album is definitely one of their best and I am already looking forward to the tour! One thing is certain, a Cape will not wear them, but maybe a crown?
